I have 6 yorkies and one maltese! LOL I had a pomeranian for 16 years before she passed years ago. My husband and I met when she was still alive but older and she HATED my husband! And my hubby didn't like her too much either.... hmmm. But my Minnie was a real nasty dog to people who would get close to me. She's was mama's little girl only! But as stupid as it sounded.... I liked that at the time cause I thought it meant loyalty to me..... so when she hissed and growled at people.... I thought it was cute. I know.....I know.... now I am better and socialization is very high on my list of good developement!
But anywayzzzzz...... I wanted a maltese and my hubby wanted a yorkie. Again... this was many years ago...... I brought my first yorkie and I was hooked....... but down the road, I saw a maltese.... who I fell in love with. Breeder said he was 5 months old and barely 2 lbs so I had decided to get him. He was suppose to be around 4 lbs full grown...... he is.... I kid you not a 12 pounder now! LOL I think the breeder lied about his age...... which I bummed about because we are celebrating the wrong day!
I'm sorry.... back to your question.....
My yorkies , especially my girls, run the house. They also use my BaoBao(maltese) as a toy at times. But he is the sweetest, nicest and best dog anybody can ask for! Both breeds are wonderful. I get the best of both worlds from them but it's all about what you are looking for. Yorkies tend to be a little more headstrong.... a bit more agressive. Malteses seem calmer and sweet.... likes attention and can be more like velcro! LOL
